Its hard, Ive tried everything, except excercising and eating right of course

Good luck to the guy. Weight isn’t my issue, but I have my own habits I’ve found extremely difficult to break.
Pumpoozle
Just put the guy on Ozempic already

I can’t stand journalism man lol. His answer was pretty honest if anyone actually took the 15 seconds to watch it

Then get a personal chef. You have all the money in the world to spend on high quality food and have someone do everything for you, and you exercise for a living. Keeping weight off shouldn’t be this much of a struggle.

Can relate. I have an overeating issue too. Some days when I go to the gym and lift I get ravenously hungry. Like I’d eat SO much in one sitting. Other days I’m snacking freely not giving a fuck. Chocolate and pringles come to mind.
Been trying to regulate my eating. It is HARD to go from eating a lot to eating less. I dont know how to describe it. It’s like going from being rich to being destitutely poor, or going from a nice apartment to a shitty one. You can’t do the thing you once did (eat freely), you have to eat less and deal with it. And the hunger will constantly claw at you
On my weight loss journey the one thing I noticed is that my “fullness” after eating a smaller meal only comes 1 hour after. So even if I still feel like I could eat more portions, I stop knowing that I’ll just feel full if I wait on it.

You all should give him some slack. He tried everything including 3sums, and couldn’t lose weight.
Hopefully he discovers dieting next
KnickedUp
Lebron and Zion both spend 1.5m per year on their bodies…..
bbqyak
That ironically makes it easier at the same time. Like he can hire a drill sergeant type character to follow him around and a personal chef to make lower calorie but delicious meals. A lot of dudes are eating boiled chicken and broccoli with tabasco sauce lmao.
rgarc065
At least he acknowledges it. If he has the right people around him he should be able to overcome it
luvvdmycat
Man I hope Zion gets this weight shit sorted because he’s a blast to watch.
JustinTime4242
It could be worse he could be poor and fat like millions of Americans
TinFoilRobotProphet
Of all the Duke players that left school early he is running a close first for the least mentally prepared. Even Kyrie didn’t struggle this much in his first years out.

Money can’t buy you discipline

It’s literally his job to be in peak physical condition. Dude has no excuse.

I don’t think some of y’all realize how much fucking food this guy has to be eating. He’s a massive human being who is running around a shit ton and lifting weights. He already requires a fuck ton of calories just cause of his size. Add in how much he is moving each day and he’s gotta be just grabbing and eating everything in sight man. Either that or he just eats stuff that is just dense as hell in calories for very little amounts of food that isn’t filling.
yourfriendly
He would if he wanted to.
TwoWayMarko
im fat but at least im rich
NYState_of_Mind
He needs to enter himself in a boot camp type of scenario and be forced to eat properly and exercise. He lacks the discipline and will likely never have it but I wish him well

Sometimes I can’t tell the difference between r/nba and r/nbacirclejerk. This is one of those times 💀

I’m going through a cut right now and it’s actually wild to see how much 1800 calories can actually consist of and at the same time feel like you’re incredibly hungry.
I think it was Frank Zane who said more or less if you’re goal is to lose weight you just have to accept the fact you’ll always be hungry. I’m rooting for Zion hard, hopefully he can get the mental health he needs to stick to his regiment.

“No one ever got fat eating fruit”
Best advice I ever heard. Eating is such an issue for many. You want to keep eating something. Fruits and veggies are the way
aja_ramirez
I’m quite sure eating habits are a big part of it, but genetically Zion is gonna be a big dude no matter what.
LackingInPatience
Glad he acknowledges it and seems sincere but he shouldn’t be getting sympathy for this
Dicey12
Maybe I’m ignorant but I’ve seen chefs cooked great food healthy. I wished I had access to a chef but good luck to him loosing weight is hard if you don’t have the proper resources
kadebot82
Good to see him talk even if this is just a deflection from all the sex stuff.
SwagCleric
If you have all the money in the world get a personal trainer, and chef. Get on Ozempic or something dude if it’s that bad of an addiction. You’re a professional athlete, act like one. Do your job.
KarrlMarrx
Maybe he should be playing Left Tackle for an NFL team instead.
BabyDodongo
Just being a supportive father, gaining weight along side his baby mommas
TuluRobertson
Guy just needs a fuck ton of replacement meal shakes. He probably needs to drink 6 at a time to feel full, but that’s better than bad shit
WskyRcks
Invest that stuff man. You won’t be rich for long if you don’t. Then you’ll just be a fat guy with blown out knees like the rest of us.
GPap-
If I had his money, I’d have a chef just cook meals for me everyday. I’d happily stop eating fast food lol
GovernmentDoingStuff
Shit is hard bro. Food is comfort for a lot of people, especially in America. I’d eat like shit if I had his kind of money
winnebagomafia
As a fat dude trying to lose weight myself, it really isn’t easy. There was a recent study that suggested that obesity changes the way the brain interprets fullness. You just don’t feel full after eating an entire meal. And even after losing all that weight, that brain chemistry doesn’t change. That’s why so many former fat people gain all the weight back. It’s like trying to quit smoking, except you’ll never, ever lose the urge to pick up another cigarette.
Smenderhoff
I was fat in high school and am in very good shape now close to 20 years later but there’s not a single bite of food I ever take without feeling guilty or asking myself if it’s a good idea. Issues with food are hard because, like, you have to engage with food daily
Emera1dthumb
He is naturally a big dude. His body is demanding food. People act like he has an eating problem, but really he is battling evolution and his own genetics. I hope he makes it.
Crinklecutsocks
I don’t think people realize how serious addiction to food can be.
As someone who has had several different addictions, I would say that food has been BY FAR the hardest for me to fix.
I wish we treated it more like a serious issue instead of just calling somebody lazy and humiliating them.
